TEXTO PARA AS PRXIMAS 4 QUESTES:

Youre in the middle of a texting conversation when the other person suddenly stops for a long
pause before responding. What does 1it mean? Maybe they got a call or got distracted by
something else, or their thumbs needed a break. But its also possible theyre taking the time to
cook up a lie.
Researchers from Brigham Young University asked more than 100 college students to respond
to 30 questions each that were generated by a computer and texted to the participants. In half of
their responses, the students were asked to lie. The researchers found that when the students
lied, it took 2them 10% longer to send the text message and they made more edits than usual.
When communicating with someone in person, most people look for behaviors that 3they feel
are indicators of dishonesty, like not being able to look people in the eye or moving nervously.
Spotting 4such signals is hard to do when someone is on the other end of a string of text
messages. But the new research suggests that some patterns, such as the delay in texting,
could become a sign for detecting lies in such communications. The researchers say 5their
findings raise questions about how the validity of communications on social media might be
interpreted on matters of security and personal safety.

What is love?
What is love? And what causes it? A University professor, Charles Zastrow, offers an
interesting answer, particularly to the second question. He argues that there are many kinds of
love and that particularly in one kind, which he calls romantic love we are strongly influenced
not so much by what we actually feel, but by what we tell ourselves about the way we feel. He
calls this self-talk. For example, say a woman is strongly attracted to a man (it could just as
easily happen to a man attracted to a woman). She tells herself things like:
He is all I have ever wanted in a man! Hes warm, kind and affectionate and will
understand all my needs. But when she discovers that he is, like all of us, just an ordinary
human being with both strong and weak points, she is bitterly disappointed.
Zastrow says that particularly in romantic love, our self-talk comes from intense,
unsatisfied desires and frustrations, and that this kind of romantic love often requires
distance. The more forbidden the love, the stronger it becomes. The more the effort necessary
to be with each other (traveling long distances) or the greater the frustration (loneliness and
sexual needs), the more intense the romance.
He points out that this kind of love often begins to fade and die as soon as the problems
and obstacles which separated the two people are removed and a normal relationship begins.
He contrasts romantic love with what he calls rational love. This is based on such
thing as: an accurate, objective idea of the other persons weakness as well as his or her
strengths; the ability to communicate with each other openly and honestly, so that you can deal
with problems as they arise; the ability to show affection openly to each other and to give as well
as receive; a clear knowledge of your own goals in life; a realistic and rational self-talk, so that
your feelings are not based on fantasy.
This kind of love is far more likely to lead to a lasting satisfying relationship. But it is, as
Zastrow and others point out, much more difficult to achieve, and is not as common as romantic
love.

TEXTO PARA AS PRXIMAS 3 QUESTES:

Leia a resenha abaixo, do romance If today be sweet, para responder (s) questo(es).
Tehmina Sethnas beloved husband has died this past year and she is visiting her son,
Sorab, in his suburban Ohio home. Now Tehmina is being asked to choose between her old,
familiar life in India and a new one in Ohio with her son, his American wife and their child. She
must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals
of life in a new country. This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi 1 woman, must travel
alone.
The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to
sweeten and enrich the lives of the people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise
that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice of whether to stay in
America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in
America as a stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation and
involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two young, troubled children next door. It is
the plight of these two boys that forces Tehmina to choose. She will either straddle two worlds
forever and live in a no-mans land or jump into the fullness of her new life in America.
If today be sweet, novel by Thrity Umrigar, celebrates family and community. It is an
honest but affectionate look at contemporary America the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel
of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and their thirst for connection and
communication. Eloquently written, evocative and unforgettable, If today be sweet is a poignant
look at issues of immigration, identity, family life and hope. It is a novel that shows how cultures
can collide and become better for it.

Beautiful Day, Isnt It?

The day started out rotten. Mary overslept and was late for work. Everything that
happened at the office contributed to her nervous frenzy. By the time she reached the bus stop
for her homeward trip, her stomach was one big knot.
As usual, the bus was late and jammed. She had to stand in the aisle. As the lurching
vehicle pulled her in all directions, her gloom deepened.
Then she heard a voice from up front boom, Beautiful day, isnt it? Because of the
crowd, she could not see the man, but she heard him as he continued to comment on the spring

Gabarito:
Resposta da questo 1:

Resposta da questo 2:

speech), o uso de expresses que "disseminam, promovem ou justificam o dio racial, a
xenofobia, o antissemitismo ou outras formas de dio baseadas na intolerncia". A alternativa

(bloody) origem.
